About This Retreat

Let AZ I AM hold the details while you soften into self-care—tending to your unique healing needs and personal wellness goals with intention and ease. This retreat isn’t about escape, it’s about realignment without distractions—a gentle yet powerful reset designed to help you feel clear, grounded, and fully alive. Guided by experienced facilitators who value balance over extremes, compassion over pressure, and moderation over burnout, you’ll be supported exactly where you are… and invited into where you’re ready to grow.

If you’re ready to go deeper—into your mind, your body, your presence—the AZ I AM five-day Dharma Zone retreat offers a profoundly transformative experience. This is where cleansing meets clarity. You’ll move through a thoughtfully designed detox program featuring nourishing juices and soups, enhanced with healing elixirs and superfoods—supporting your body as it releases, resets, and restores. Alongside the physical cleanse, you’ll be guided through a balanced blend of Vinyasa and Yin yoga, meditation, and immersive sound healing—practices that quiet the noise, awaken awareness, and reconnect you to your inner rhythm. It’s not just a retreat—it’s a return to alignment, where your body is supported, your mind is explored, and your spirit is given space to rise. Rather than shocking the body’s natural systems, our approach gently supports them, allowing you to ease into deep healing and sustainable, healthier habits. Through mindful practices like yoga, hiking, wellness services, and meditation, we invite you to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms and restore harmony from within. Our experienced leadership, intelligent program, and like-minded community will help to align you with your truest self - we are committed to guiding you through this journey! Located just north of Los Angeles, surrounded by sweeping vistas, Hummingbird Nest's extensive property boasts a grand Spanish Villa, shaded olive groves, sparkling fountains, sprawling lawns and private vineyards. Whether you are looking to connect with nature, relax by the pool, hike with a friend or enjoy a wonderful spa service, you will feel the luxury of Hummingbird Nest.
